What Our Students Say About Stuart Nelson

Stuart Nelson’s patience and understanding has been exceptional throughout my driving lessons. I put off learning to drive until I was 20 because of a lack of confidence and the nerves previous instructors left me with. I couldn't envision myself ever driving until Stuart came along. He's been the ideal instructor, always listening, assisting, and supporting me every step of the way. I can’t wait to put all the skills he’s taught me into practice on the roads as a now full licensed driver. A massive thank you to you, Stuart and on the first attempt too!

What a bloke - Stuart Nelson. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, a proper good laugh and knows how to get things done. Prices are fair and will even run over to get stuff done, your not going to find that anywhere else. Got through my lessons fast and confidently. He will ensure you are getting everything you need to know done properly and quickly and will never raise his voice or shout, he is an amazing driver himself. I would recommend anyone to choose Stuart!

Stuart Nelson is without a doubt the best driving instructor to be taught by, calm, collected and overall very nice bloke to be around. He will never shout at you for your mistakes, will only correct you in the proper way which is most beneficial for your learning and preparation for your test. Wouldn’t have chosen anyone else but him and can safely say every one of my driving lessons over the past 11 months has been more than a pleasure, thank you.

I recently passed my test whilst using 1st Driving School and my instructor was Stuart. He was amazing, cracking some amazing jokes and loves to hold a great conversation. Stuart is eager to get you driving on your first lesson which i found amazing. With just about 5 months of being with him I passed my test first time! Stuart is always there to support you in every way, including videos to assist you with driving around and he’s happy to go the extra mile to give you a little homework (which helped me massively). If I could go back 5 months and have Stuart teaching me again I would do it, the bond that you will create with him is like no other. Overall Stuart is an amazing teacher, he’s never snaps at you for doing something wrong instead he teaches you right from wrong, he’s an amazing man, very talented, funny, exciting and comforting whilst driving around tricky area. I looked forward to every lesson with him and i’m very thankful for everything he did for me.

It was a wonderful experience. Stuart, my 6ft tall driving instructor from 1st Driving School, deserves more than 5 stars! He's is friendly, humorous, encouraging and professional at the same time. I feel a bond already. Thanks to his effort (beyond regular) in getting me through this licence exam in the first go. I would highly recommend him to everyone around, if you're lucky enough to get the slots!

It has been an absolute pleasure to start my driving journey with 1st Driving School with Stuart Nelson as my instructor! Stuart is extremely kind, caring, supportive and has so much patience!! Stuart was constantly positive and had so much confidence in me even when I doubted myself and without him I would have not passed my test first time!!! I could not have asked for a better instructor and I will miss our lessons together and I guess his dad jokes! Thank you so much Stuart!

My instructor Stuart has been amazing!His patience knew no bounds! He took time to understand me and how best to teach me which was fantastic. He was kind, understanding and knew how to build my confidence. I passed 1st time with only 3 minors. I would recommend to anyone who is starting their driving journey, thank you Stuart.

My instructor Stuart was very professional and thorough. He put a lot of effort in to get me through my test. For a person like me who had never driven a car before and a slow learner he has really helped me to achieve this on my first attempt, thank you so much.

There are absolutely no words to describe how amazing Stuart is from 1st Driving School. I suffered severe anxiety around driving and getting into cars prior to learning with Stu due to bad experiences in the past and poor health but Stu made me feel so relaxed and at ease. He's calm, patient and understanding just like driving with a pal. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Highly highly recommend.

After having a bad experience with my previous instructor I changed to this school and Stuart Nelson taught me. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, he made me feel at so much ease after previously being a very anxious driver. I am now confident that I’ll be able to handle any challenges by myself on the roads. Thank you so much Stuart! You are a legend.

Stuart took over my daughters tuition at the last minute and worked so hard to get her match fit for her exam, fitting in extra lessons to ensure she was as ready as she could be and giving her the confidence that she was more than capable of passing, and she did! Can’t recommend him enough, thank you Stuart.

I absolutely enjoyed all driving sessions with Stuart. He is very friendly, supportive and he has always encouraged me to be a safe driver. Without the continuous support and motivation from my driving instructor, it would have been very difficult for me to pass the test.

Excellent service, Stuart Nelson really helped me gain my confidence and worked with me to get through the test, many thanks.

Stuart the man, the myth, the legend! Couldn't have done this without Stuart. I would have quit a long time ago if it wasnt for his composure and encouragement. Took me awhile, but his perseverance and belief in me made me eventually love driving and I'm incredibly thankful.

Very helpful past first time thank you

I passed 1st time with one minor fault. Stuart Nelson was my instructor and he made learning so simple, hes got patience and we had a good laugh on lessons. He kept me at ease on my test day as I was so nervous, highly recommend.

100% Recommend. I cannot recommend 1st driving school enough. INFINITE thanks to my instructor Stuart for putting so much time, energy and belief into every lesson. He truly wants his learners to be their best and I have become such a confident driver because of his patience and knowledge. Thank you so much again, you have really helped me gain the independence I’ve been needing.

Best instructor around! I started my driving journey in April and passed my tests first time today thanks to my amazing instructor Stuart Nelson! He was not only patient and professional but made me feel at ease and helped me build my confidence over time. He's always friendly, down to earth and up for a laugh. I feel he's prepared me for all possible life scenarios and I'm confident I can tackle them all. Thanks Skip!

Stuart helped me so much as I wasn’t feeling as confident after having a not so great start with a previous driving instructor. Stuart was/is patient, friendly, professional, supportive and amazing throughout my whole driving journey which was even longer due to covid. I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking to start learning to drive as he is a great instructor and I appreciate all the help and advice he has given me. I passed my test first time and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Stuart and 1st Driving School.

Stuart Nelson was my tutor and he was a very good driving instructor. He helped me with everything and very easy person to get along with. I could not fault him in any way, nicest driving instructor you could get. I highly recommend him for any new driver or a driver that needs extra skills. Thanks again Stuart Nelson you are the best.

I’d been to two driving schools before coming across 1st and I have to say there is absolutely no comparison. It’s completely worth the investment. My instructor, Stuart helped me pass first time. I was sent weekly progress reports with action points for our next session and I knew I could contact him anytime with questions. The service is spot on and I felt very comfortable, safe and reassured while I was learning. Stuart even gave me extra tips for my own car (e.g. getting blind spot mirrors since it’s a tiny one) so he really went over and above for me. I would highly recommend 1st driving school without hesitation.
